Members of the Picornaviridae family are non-enveloped, positive-stranded RNA viruses
with a 30nm icosahedral capsid. This virus family exhibits a considerable amount of genetic …

Publisher Summary This chapter highlights how the current understanding of the
mechanisms and factors influencing virus adsorption can be used to interpret and control …

The present invention relates to an immunogenic composi tion. More particularly, the
present invention is a composition directed to eliciting an immune response to at least one …

Comparative surface feature analyses of the VP1 sequences of hepatitis A virus (HAV) and
poliovirus type 1 allowed an alignment of the two sequences and an identification of …

Poliovirus RNA is naturally uncapped, therefore its translation must proceed via a cap-
independent mechanism. Translation initiation on poliovirus RNA occurs by binding of …

Picornavirus RNAs are uncapped messengers and have unusually long 5'nontranslated
regions (5'NTRs) which contain many noninitiating AUG triplets. The translational efficiency …

Full-length poliovirus complementary DNA (cDNA) was synthesized by assembling
oligonucleotides of plus and minus strand polarity. The synthetic poliovirus cDNA was …

Sixty-six human enterovirus serotypes have been identified by serum neutralization, but the
molecular determinants of the serotypes are unknown. Since the picornavirus VP1 protein …

Simple methods are presented to estimate rates of spontaneous mutation from mutant
frequencies and population parameters in RNA viruses. Published mutant frequencies yield …

Leading experts from all over the world present an overview of the use of enzymes in
industry for:-the production of bulk products, such as glucose, or fructose-food processing …
